Hundreds of families have been enjoying the thrills of a vintage fair.

The well-known Carters Steam Fair returned to Promenade Park yesterday with its charming rides and stalls dating from the late 19th century to the 1960s.

Georgina Carter, who runs the fair with her husband Joby, said: “We have had a very good turnout."

The fair is continuing until Sunday, May 31.

See Thursday's Maldon and Burnham Standard for more pictures.
